FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Geritz's classroom raised $298

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are so imaginative, and love to make art. They like to take their ideas out of their minds and share them with the world.

Giving my students a chance to express themselves creatively builds their confidence, and their brain power.

We will use the paints and extra brushes to create pictures for our classroom. We will also use it to illustrate our writing.

We will use the crayons to draw, as a class and independently.

We will use the whiteboards to jot down ideas and practice drawing.

Your support is so appreciated! These young artists can’t wait to get creative!

Ms. Geritz Peres K-8 School Grades PreK-2
